Pay particular attention to this chat:

By very conservative estimate, the work week should be four days - with severe overtime penalties after that. Notice how the graph starts from the year 1970, when the paradise began to end.

That's exactly right seatown - it is a shocking thing (and perfect evidence that capitalism is slavery) that the work-week has not been reduced since the 1930s, though productivity has increased many multiples since then.

I have argued on this forum for years that the work-week should be reduced to 20 hours per week, with at least two months holiday every year.
